Rental Types

For 32 sun-drenched years kayak rentals have been the sole focus of our business.

That means we know what’s waiting to be discovered deep within the living park. Seals, caves, dolphins, rugged coastline, golden sand beaches …they’re out there…and more. That heritage also makes us uniquely qualified to prepare our clients so they feel safe and confident.

As the only company specialising in kayak rentals, we provide a comprehensive safety briefingand a comprehensive set of trip options. Our years of experience have enabled us to piece together the best trips and we overlay that with our knowledge and passion for the park.

We pick up your kayak and you continue by foot to explore the coastal track. We have trips that walk both North and South and from 1 - 5 days that are packaged with everything included.
